PWR 2KDC: Writing & Rhetoric 2: Myth and the Contemporary: Talking Across Two Worlds
What do ancient myths have to tell us about our current world? What do stories say about AI, Genetic Engineering, Climate Change, and Social Justice? How does the difference of old perspectives offer us fresh takes on the new? In this course, we will consider world myths that have been retold by such writers as Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Neil Gaiman, JK Rowling, and Margaret Atwood, and in such dramas as Game of Thrones, Us, Her, Embrace of the Serpent, and The Revenant.
